This was a wonderful adventure we had one evening while visiting Barcelona with our 3 teenage children. Everyone loved it. The bikes are so much fun and surprisingly comfortable. All 3 of our guides (Joe, July, and Lorrezo) were extremely personable and engaging. We learned so much about the history, architecture, and culture of Barcelona. The guides adjusted the itinerary on the fly based on what we had already seen in the city, and to avoid the traffic of a soccer game. For a fabulous evening of sightseeing, tapas, and cava, you should definitely take this tour!Z3456WOpatrickc

I have been on a bright side tour before some three years ago, it was really great then and still is today. Myself and my daughter opted for the tapas tour. Our guide Jo was informative, fun and very good motorcyclist. We toasted each other with a glass of cava courtesy of bright side tours whilst looking across the amazing city. Well worth the money, the tapas at the end was lovely. I thoroughly recommend taking any of the tours, thank you for an amazing experience.Snooze122

In the beginning, I was a little concerned because I had a phone call about an hour to hour and half before we were supposed to take this tour. I was advised they had an issue with one of their sidecars, and asked if I would I be able to reschedule. We had just flown in that day, so we were a bit tired, so I said sure, it wasn’t a problem and they rescheduled for the next day. But we did go the next day! I booked this as a surprise for my husband. I told him we needed to go stand outside to wait for the surprise and he saw the sidecar parked on the street. He says, I bet this isn’t it, because he knows I’m not that adventurous. I’ve never been on motorcycle in my life. Joe promptly came out of the hotel where he had gone in quickly and greeted us. He was very kind and helped me get my helmet on and off. I chose to sit in the actual side car, (thanks hubby for being cool about that) and off we went. I took quite a bit of video of the adventure, it was so much fun!! We stopped at many excellent locations for Tapas, wine and beer. Joe was very cool, he and my hubby got a long great as motorcycle riders - my husband used to race motorcycles. So they talked shop a lot. :) He did give us quite a bit of history too! We saw a lot of Barcelona and appreciated some of the stops that we hadn’t already seen on foot. It really was a great tour, well worth the cost! Would definitely do again!William_E

Alessandro and Pau were the ultimate hosts and guides. We had a very safe and enjoyable, unique experience that we can recommend to anyone including those traveling with young children. Included were food and drink recommendations along the way, helmets equipped with headphones to communicate with the knowledgeable guides, a stop with chilled Cava to enjoy overlooking the city. Highly recommended.U9076YNmarkv
